154 East 29 Street,

Manhattan, NY 10016

Everyone on staff in the building is super friendly. Maintenance is responsive.

The management company is EXTREMELY aggressive with price hikes each year, especially post covid.
There are occassionally roaches in the building

Maintanence gets back to you relatively fast. The walls are thick so it's pretty quiet (though would note that the doors aren't so you'll hear everything from the hallway and the hallway will hear you). Doormen and staff overall are friendly. Studios are spacious with a full sized kitchen.
Close to a lot of grocery stores, AMC , and the 6 line

- have seen roaches in the apartment (both big and small)
- rent hikes are pretty dang high every year (but negotiable)
- there are 10 layers of paint and everything is painted over haphazardly

The handyman is super helpful, the doormen are great, pests are minimal, hot water always works, heat and AC work great. No leaks, no loud neighbors

About 1-2 cockroaches per year in unit (upper floor), there are a few on the roof which sucks

Better pest control, the trash room is super gross and could use cleaning. The Super doesn’t answer calls, just calls back when he wants which is bad for emergencies

Amenities
Doormen
Routine services - cleaning and pest control

Depending on your apt location the bars across the street are loud and can shake the building
Rent was increase 80% at renewal

Location is great

Pests, cleanliness are an issue

Try harder to keep up more than just appearance

Doorman is friendly

So hot always heat on

Furnished rooftop, small gym and laundry in the basement
Can’t hear neighbors Nextdoor or above/below

Occasional cockroaches
Building needs renovation, feels outdated
Basement smells horrible 24/7 from garbage room

Good location, space, layout, nice sized bedrooms. Building staff is great

Overpriced, MICE, ROACHES, awful, non responsive management company. If you run into any issues, do not expect to receive a timely response that is productive. Expect to hear noise from the bar across the street. Expect to get your rent raised $1000+

Invest in your units, get the roach and rodent problem under control. Do not price gauge.

The doormen and other building staff are lovely; they were always so kind and helpful.

The building is infested with massive cockroaches, and although management makes an effort to bring in exterminators every other week, the cockroach problem never went away.

Doormen are so nice, thoughtful, and make being here more enjoyable for sure.

The company that manages this building make living here not worth it. BUT if you’re anything like me, I don’t have unending income and 1,000 options on where to live in NYC. So now that I’m in, it’s hard to get out as you need so much money to move.

Start over? I’ve talked with leasing agents, the company’s lawyer, MULTIPLE employees, and across the board it has been terrible. From the blatant lies to not answering our emails for weeks at a time I just can’t think of how this can be fixed but to let someone else step in and run/manage this building and tenants.
